aZZ 'whom z'zlmay'concern: I Be it known that we, ZALMoN G. .SHOLEs andJosemi M. FRAAZ, Citizens of the' United States, residing in the city,county, and. State of New York, have inventednew and useful/Improvementsin TypeLWriters, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention has relation to an improvement in the mode ofhangingthe type barsin typewriters, which. improvement isparticularlyuseful/in those machines having a movablesegment for carryingfthe typebars.

The principal object of the invention is the provision of means forVsupporting and adjustingtlic type bars whereby is attained with ease inplacing and lreplacing the bars and accomplishment of accurate and readyadjustment thereof.

The invention 4is shownsin a preferred form in the accompanyingdrawings, Wherein- Figure l is a front View, partly in section, of thesupporting segment with half of the type bars in place, Fig. 2 is asectional plan view of the same, Fig. 3 is an elevation of a hanger withthe attached type bars show n in section, Fig. 4 is a View partly inelevation and partly in section of a t e bar and its supports, and Fig.v5 is a s1 eelevation of a hanger.

The movable supporting segment 10 is provided with ears 11' which`surround the pillars 12 upon whichthe'y lslide when the segment vismoved up and .down in a well known manner. The mechanism for moving thesegment is not shown, as it forms nov part of our invention# The pillars12 are preferably made hello.y but thls 1s not essential.' The segmenttis arc-shaped in the form shown and is provided .with notches 13 in itsupper surface, which conver e toward nto4 these slots are slid the ila-thangers' 14, preferably shaped as shown in Figs. 3i.y and 5 with' abeveled portion 15' intended Ato -bear againstl the sloping shoulder 16in front of each slot 13. Each hanger 14 is also provided with afastening Harige 17 adapted to titsnugly into the `ralcbet formed by thepipiectior'i 18 Figs. 1 and 4. The hangers 14 ae'fli'eli place by screws19 passing through sans flanges-17.

sponding hanger 14 with its attached type bars may be instantly removed.

In the preferred construction shown in the drawing, the flat type harsare made to play within the appropriate narrow spaces separating the oposite faces of each hanger from the. inner aces of the slot or notch inwhich such hanger is placed. The base of each type bar is preferablyenlarged as shown in Fig. 4, and thus a very firm and .unyieldingbearing of large area, not subject to easy derangement is afforded.insures preservation of aliuement.

This construction makes it very easy to assemble the bars, first bypivots 'to the two sides of the hangers 14, and then by simply slidingeach hanger 14 into place in its This lproper notch 13. By assemblingthe type `bars in pairs, they can be placed in half the time that isconsumed in adjusting them one 'by one.

Various changes can be made in this device without departing from thespirit of our invention, and we do not limit ourselves to thedetailslierein shown and described.`
